Chapter 2187 Recognized Her

Dongxue went downstairs to serve the meal.

She still discovered the fact that Zheng Qiu was a girl, so now she was not as surprised as before to see Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu on good terms.

Gu Xin went to the washbasin and washed her face with cold water, then went to the dressing table to tidy up her hair, and then went to Zheng Qiu's room next door.

Zheng Qiu had already woken up, but just stayed in bed and didn't want to get up.

"Xinxin, you woke up too." Seeing Gu Xin come in, Zheng Qiu sat up embarrassedly.

"Well, she just woke up too. I have asked Dongxue to serve the food. This girl has been bored in the palace in recent days. We are exhausted." Gu Xin sat down at the table, picked up the teapot, and found that the water in it was full, so she asked, "Did the people in the other courtyard add this just now?"

"Well, I took a sip when I went to bed just now, and it was still hot. Maybe Lord Liu knows that we don't like to drink tea, so there is plain water in this teapot." Zheng Qiu said.

"Well, then, you put on your clothes first, I'll drink some water." Gu Xin nodded, and then put a jade bead into the teapot at an angle that Zheng Qiu couldn't see.

She had been in Taizhou for several days. In addition to the one she used for soaking in water every day, she had saved dozens of beads, put them in a bottle, and asked Dongxue to take them.

This was the first one she took out today.

Zheng Qiu naturally didn't see Gu Xin's actions. She put on her clothes and went to the rack to wash up. When she came back after washing up, Gu Xin had already poured her a glass of water.

"This water is quite sweet." Zheng Qiu took a sip and said.

"Maybe this is the mountain spring that people in the other courtyard went to get! The environment in the mountains is good. It's really a good idea to choose to build such a other courtyard here. It's a particularly suitable place for retreat." Gu Xin said calmly.

"It's true. I looked out from the carriage just now, and the surroundings are indeed beautiful. And it's so cool in this season, it's really comfortable. I forgot to cover myself with a quilt when I went to bed just now, and I was woken up by the cold once." Zheng Qiu said with a smile.

At this time, Dongxue came with a maid, carrying a tray.

It was millet porridge and a few side dishes, but the portions were quite large. Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu were both big eaters. They had gone to sleep without eating lunch. Now that they saw the food, they didn't care about talking and started eating with chopsticks.

A bowl of millet porridge and several large plates of side dishes were all eaten by the two of them, but for them, it was just to fill their stomachs. Thinking that dinner would be coming soon, they didn't ask for more.

After eating, the maid cleaned up the table, and Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu took Dongxue to find Bai Yi Bai Er, also planning to go fishing in leisure.

Gu Xin had not participated in the activity of fishing before, and was quite interested in it.

The people in the other courtyard had already prepared fishing rods and baits. The four of them sat in a row, chatting quietly and paying attention to the movement in the water.

Half an hour later, someone came to inform them that Lord Liu and several generals and their families were about to arrive, so they stopped.

However, Bai Yi and Bai Er both looked unhappy.

If they hadn't known Gu Xin since she was eleven years old, and Bai Er had even been by her side, they would have suspected that Gu Xin was just kidding them when she said she had never fished before.

In this bucket, eight out of ten fish were caught by Gu Xin. These fish seemed to have recognized Gu Xin's hook and only took her hook. If the two brothers had caught a few at the beginning, they would have caught nothing today.
